To finish off July Book Club we are ending with Rachel's novel "Smart Girl". Brilliant designer Miko Jin is a bookworm (just like all of you at the end of this month) and with novels as her guide, and her best friends by her side, she is hoping to fan the flame of love with dreamy Liam Ashton. But Will Miko get her own happy ending? Will she find the strength to stand up for what she deserves…even if it means breaking her own heart?
